![]() ![]() Is it more likely that someone with light features and blonde hair will be a spring or a summer? Probably, but that doesn't mean you are a spring or a summer even if you have light features and blonde hair. Focus on what the colours do, and not whether you are too this or that to fit into arbitrary "rules" about what someone in this or that season typically would look like. Do different consultants disagree about this point (I've gone more in depth here)? Yes, but IMO the proof is in the pudding: if a Japanese woman with dark hair and eyes look best in summer colours, then she's a summer, and if a woman with grey eyes look the best in autumn colours, then she's an autumn. Hair, skin and eye colours don't matter much (they can be useful for finding contrast level for your outfit combinations, but not season). ![]() IMO don't waste time reading up on what hair, skin and eye colours the seasons typically would have, as it's more important what the different colours you wear are doing to your skin (I've seen many clients with both typical and atypical colouring for their season). What simultaneous contrast is (this is the key to understanding why colour analysis works the way it does).So if you want to DIY, you should read up on colour first (the internet is so full of good colour theory resources nowadays, just google "colour theory"). I always suggest people go see a colour consultant in-person if they can, but I understand it's not possible for someone for varying reasons, so they want to give DIY a go. We don't charge people for colour analysis just because we can, but because we have done a lot of research and have a lot of training that makes us able to understand, see and explain why X works and Y doesn't. When learning a maths, you don't start off with algebra before you have learnt to add and subtract. Hey, we're all in quarantine, so might as well spend that time reading! If you just want to find your season without spending a lot of time, then a consultation with a professional colour analyst is the way to go. Yes, this is a loooong post, but if you want to try colour analysis on your own, then you need to read way more than this. This post is made only to help people who try to DIY seasonal colour analysis, not to make one system seem better than another (which system you prefer is up to you). I do custom palette colour analysis, so I'm not biased towards any four season system. I need to state that I think all colour systems are good as long as they work for the client. I've previously written a post on why I think you should start focus on the basic four first when doing colour analysis DIY (focusing on how to do self-draping), but I thought I'd do another post on it to really try to hammer it home. What I mean by that, is that people doing DIY colour analysis start off with 12, 16, 18 or even more seasons and try to find their season, usually before understanding the basic four seasons properly. Want to make seasonal colour analysis easier to understand, and to find your season more easily? This is how!Īs someone who have been into colour analysis for over 15 years (and trained in colour analysis many years ago), I recognize some recurring themes here from other colour analysis forums I've been a part of, and even from a few of my clients: people try to run before they have learnt to walk. r/ColorAnalysis is not a place for self-promotion.
